I'm very passionate about working with individuals who struggle with insomnia, anxiety, and performance related issues. Using a collaborative approach with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, you are given the tools you need to feel better and accomplish your goals ASAP. My goal is to not have you need me as soon as possible - that means we've both done our jobs. For insomnia specifically, most can expect to have their sleep issues resolved within 4-6 half hour sessions.

My goal with each client is to cultivate a collaborative atmosphere that is conducive to change and growth. This can only occur when clients are treated as individuals who know they will receive consistent, compassionate and transparent care. This starts with developing and fostering therapeutic relationships that encourage each individual to realize (or rediscover) a path that will help them develop a greater sense of personal fulfillment. I am comfortable and confident treating clients who are experiencing difficulty adjusting to life events or transitions, as well as those who are continuing to seek understanding, perspective and guidance with long standing challenges and concerns.

Engaging in therapy and self discovery may seem overwhelming at first, but the result, living one's optimal life is worth the investment. Based on my lived and professional experience, I firmly believe in self-actualization-that everyone can attain the complete realization of their potential. Self-actualization can usually best be achieved by person centered therapy which is premised on the notion that everyone is an "expert" in their own life, can identify areas of their life they would like to change, and with the support of a nonjudgmental and empathetic therapist they can make those changes.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
